MWA200 Product Spec. 1. Introduction The MWA200 High-Power Metro Wireless Internet Adapter is a CPE device that allows user’s PC or notebook to connect to the Internet. This device supports AP client mode, it also comes with a single 10/100Mbps auto-sensing Ethernet port. The built-in high-power wireless function lets the user securely get authenticated and connects to the Municipal Wi-Fi mesh network without hassle. The MWA200 High-Power Metro Wireless Internet Adapter is very easy to use and setup. It has three LED indicators to show the received signal strength. During power up, it will automatically determine the signal strength to the nearest AP with configured SSID and reflects on the LED accordingly. User can then move the device around until two more LEDs turn on. There is also a high gain omni directional antenna for user to get a better radio signal reception. Users connect their laptop/ PC via the RJ-45 Ethernet port on the MWA200 High-Power Metro Wireless Internet Adapter, and it will assign an IP address to the laptop/ PC. Users can visualize the received signal quality via the GUI utilities once they have logged in the device’s web browser.. 2.
